Scripture Reading

Acts 10:34-48

Today’s Key Verse: Acts 10:34

Peter began to speak: “I now realize that it is true that God treats everyone on the same basis.”

Reflect

What is the essence of Peter’s speech (verses 34-43)? What does Peter say he and the apostles were commanded to do (verse 42)? As a result of Peter’s encounter with Cornelius, what new understanding has he gained? What insights have you gained from your daily encounter with God’s Word?

Pray

Gracious God, all who fear you and do what is right are acceptable to you. Your Son, Jesus, is Lord of all. Thank you for the outpouring of the gift of your Holy Spirit and for welcoming and embracing all who put their faith in Jesus. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
